Amy Meyer (Interior Designer) repped WHA in a tour of the Brazilian Embassy in Washington, D.C. Designed by John Russell Pope in 1908, the historical residence is “a rigidly powerful, symmetrical structure without superfluous ornament.”

An invitation from One Source’s Stephanie Stack (rep for Soseego Modern Brazilian Furniture) led Meyer to the nation’s capital for this inspiring tour of the Brazilian Embassy. She was joined by host Jonathan During (Managing Partner of Sossego Design), Domingos Totora (Brazilian designer), Guilherme Wentz (lighting designer) and others for a tour of the stately glass and steel embassy.

Meyer and her tour group were invited to join Luiz Alberto Figueiredo (Brazilian Ambassador) in his home for cocktails and conversation about Brazilian furniture design trends. Before returning home to Chicago, she had the opportunity to visit the White House, Lincoln Memorial, and African American Cultural Center.
